    five times the digit in the hundred’s place. If the digit in the unit’s place and the ten’s place are interchanged, the new number so formed is 36 more than the original number.

    A 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let hundred’s digit = ‘x’ Then unit’s digit = 5x and ten’s digit = 3x ∴ Number = 100x + 30x + 5x = 135x Again, hundred’s digit = x Ten’s digit = 5x and unit’s digit = 3x ∴ Number = 100x + 50x + 3x = 153x According to the question, ⇒ 153x – 135x = 27 ⇒ 18x = 36 ⇒ x = 2 ∴ Original number = 135x = 270 ∴ 1/27th of original number = 270/27 = 10
